Hi , i have a little bit time, so i write my actual story.
After one year of problems with my car and a lot of repairs and a lot of mpney i wanted to go for a nice trip to your country.
But the garage here in bethlehem connected the 6 volt glowplugs with 12 volt, so the trip started with burned heaterplugs. I changed the system to 12volt with plugs from germany and we could start with a delay of some days.
in nelspuit the car was broken up and all our things were stolen, camera of 14000 euro, tools, papers. After spending a week with the customs and the police we gave up the plan with the tour and we wanted to return to bethlehem. 40km from bethlehem the engine died with a big cloud of smoke and steam. The new head was broken after only 1000km. And now? I wrote a mail To graham for an idea, but got no answer until now.
Bad luck again this time.
